Donald Rumsfeld - Morally and Intellectually Confused

So by now everyone has probably heard that our Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld thinks that if you are a critic of the Iraq War, you are nothing more than a nazi appeaser. You are just like Neville Chamberlain unthinkingly shaking Hitlers hand while not realizingl the threat on the horizon.



As Frank Rich says in his NYT editorial:
Here’s how brazen Mr. Rumsfeld was when he invoked Hitler’s appeasers to score his cheap points: Since Hitler was photographed warmly shaking Neville Chamberlain’s hand at Munich in 1938, the only image that comes close to matching it in epochal obsequiousness is the December 1983 photograph of Mr. Rumsfeld himself in Baghdad, warmly shaking the hand of Saddam Hussein in full fascist regalia.



Remember, the above handshake took place after Saddam had gassed the Kurds.

No matter how the ABC TV network> wants to skew history, it was Donald Rumsfeld and his boss that were asleep at the switch on 9/11. I sure hope people remember that come this November.
